Public Request - for these programs!

["Charles T. 'Dr. Tom' Turley" <cturley@grin.net>]

I received a request to make the following programs available from our GS and
Apple II ftp sites, as well as from my own web site. They seem to be available
from only Genie and perhaps Delphi. If some good-hearted person, that cares for
the needs of all Apple II users, that has any of them, listed below would be
good enough to make them available to everybody, both I and many others would
be very grateful.  Please upload any of them to my private ftp site.

See programs requested and outlined below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Speed*  a CDev for controlling the speed of a TransWarp GS.  The first
working CDev up on GEnie and the first to work will all versions of the TWGS.
Shows the current speed of a TWGS in Mhz, even after changing the speed by
some other means (in the TWGS CDA or by FKey).  System 6.0 compatible.
(Current Version 2.7)

ShowPic, the NDA that displays, saves, and converts all kinds of Super
HiRes graphic files for the IIGS.  Displays Screen, PackBytes, PaintWorks 320
and 640 mode, Apple Preferred Format, and Print Shop GS graphics.  Also 3200
color and the French APP ".3201" graphics, GIF 87a and 89a graphics, and
MacPaint files.  Saves the displayed graphic in Screen or Apple Preferred
format and even double size Apple Preferred format for condensed mode printing,
for a mini-SHRConvert type utility.  Converts 320 mode graphics into 640 mode
color or 640 mode gray scale (semi-intelligent).  Also allows veiwing pictures
in 320 or 640 mode and changing to those palettes.  Displays multiple graphics
for a slide show effect with a continuous show feature.  Allows scrolling of
graphics larger than the screen.  (Current Version 6.1)

Launch Pad, the CDev that will Configure applications to set their own data 
file location, Key Translation, and accelerator speed each and every time they 
are launched, regardless of the launching program.  When you return from that
program, the previous settings are restored.  No more hunting for data files
or having to bring up an NDA/CDA/CDev to set up your program environment.
Works with either a TransWarp GS, ZipGS, or no accelerator at all.  System 6.0
Compatible (Current Version 1.2)

Desk Color, the CDev for changing the color of your desktop from the old
periwinkle blue to any picture or pattern.  Saves and loads many different
pattern files and pictures.  Built-in pattern editor with ability to load and
save other patterns.  The selection is saved so it's used the next time you
boot the computer.  System 6.0 Compatible.  (Current Version 3.1)

Menu Master, the NDA that changes all your program menu bars to the colors
you have selected.  You can also select a font other than the standard Shaston
that's used in menus on programs that use the Font Manager.  Also set the
number of times a menu selection will blink.  Your settings are permanently
saved so they'll be there the next time you boot.  (Current Version 1.1)

FKey, the CDev that gives you control over your environment by adding Function
Keys to the IIGS.  FKeys are similar to NDA's, CDA's, or CDev's.  They are
mini programs that are run at the stroke of a key sequence, something like a
macro.  FKey is a new environment for the IIGS.  It is expandable because it
allows for programmers to add other FKey files.  Any utility that should
execute with a keystroke inside another program, can be written/rewritten as
an FKey to prevent conflicts and reduce memory/disk space requirements.
Several FKeys are included with the CDev; a Screen Blanker, Screen Saver,
Disk Ejecter, Zoom or Send Windows to the back, Change TransWarp GS speed,
or Change the Key Translation, all on the fly with a simple keystroke sequence.
The CDev allows you to change the keystroke sequence that is assigned to each
function within an FKey, make the file Inactive, or configure it.  You
may choose any location for the FKey files to be stored, if you don't have
enough room on your boot disk.  They can even be called from within a CDA
brought up from within a Desktop program.  (Current Version 0.1beta)
